[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD ia 17, a senior, and has started drinking small amounts with friends, at sleepovers, parties, etc. I’m not happy about it but my husband says that it’s good practice for college, and that she’s almost 18(in may!), as an excuse to not give her consequences or step in.

How would you handle this? 
She’s 17, so what consequences would be appropriate, besides taking her phone away?[/quote]

What does her phone have to do with underage drinking? How is taking it away an appropriate consequence? Explain it to me like I'm five... Or are you just so lazy that you don't know how to parent so this is your fallback punishment for everything?

The thing about drinking is it has natural consequences. Hangovers, getting bloated and fat, making an ass of yourself, etc. Let her experience those things. Maybe remind her that drinking will absolutely make her fat and put her at risk for sexual assault.

But taking away her phone? That doesn't make a lick of sense. [/quote]
